All the core members of the Minhong Security Team came to Beijing in batches, where they received gifts from Lin Yao.
This core team numbered over 5,300, which, when distributed among the local Minhong Hospitals, could only allow each location to retain one to five members. However, they were the mainstay of Lin Yao's future confrontation with Jiang Liu.
In Lin Yao's opinion, since there are two completely different attitudes in the country towards the crisis brought by Jiang Liu, and the forces supporting Jiang Liu are quite powerful, he no longer needs to hide his strength. It would be more effective to show his trump card directly. Whether it is to deter or to make a high-profile display, he cannot let people underestimate Min Hong's strength.
These people may play a crucial role in future wars, because although the outcome of the battle against "Morning Mist" depends on the confrontation of high-end forces and ordinary people cannot play a decisive role, if "Morning Mist" uses "Poison People" to fight, establishing its own power will enable it to deal with crises on the largest scale, which is of great importance to the people of the entire country.
From the moment Lin Yao and Xiao Cao came up with a plan, the security teams of Minhong in various places added a new training subject—high-speed, high-intensity confrontation.
Drawing on the basic training subjects for aviation pilots, all members of the Minhong Security Team began to strengthen their observation and control abilities at ultra-high speeds. Subjects such as throwing knives, firearms, and danger avoidance were given unprecedented importance, because once these subjects were implemented, all security team members might receive Lin Yao's "human nuclear power" as a gift. Only with the assistance of this powerful ability could they have the ability to cope with high-end confrontations and stabilize the national situation.
All the Yi family disciples also intensified their training in this area. They no longer followed the established rules and trained their martial arts skills based on their own cultivation level. Even the disciples at the early stages of the Human and Earth levels had to train in combat at speeds far exceeding their own limits. The acceleration equipment used cost the Yi family a lot of money, but it was well spent because they could not consume "human core energy" to familiarize themselves with and adapt to high-level abilities. They could only use the minimum cost to allow disciples at lower cultivation levels to acquire these abilities, so that the "human core energy" could be used to its maximum effect in critical moments.
The 28th Army Infantry Division, which has always been highly regarded by the military, has also started this training. However, Lin Yao has not yet given them "human core power". Everything can only be done on the ground up because Xiao Cao's stored "Year-by-Year Pill" and "Year-by-Year Pill" are running low. Even if the pills consumed to cultivate the first and second levels of "human core power" are very few, they cannot withstand the huge population base. Therefore, the equipment can only be temporarily suspended.
Three days after equipping the core members of the security team with "human nuclear power," Lin Yao received an invitation from the military and appeared in the military conference hall again.
"Lin Yao, we know that you have developed a new type of drug that can greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers in a short period of time. Now, on behalf of the military, I am ordering this drug from you and requesting that you not allow it to be distributed abroad, nor to any organization or individual that has not been approved by the state."
General Yue Taiqun spoke from his seat with a very dignified expression. After he finished speaking, he turned to look at the man in the chairman's seat next to him, but did not ask for his opinion. It is likely that the announcement was a result that everyone had agreed on beforehand.
Lin Yao sat in the last seat of the audience without any joy or sorrow, as if he had not heard General Yue Taiqun's words, but he felt quite uncomfortable.
The military had only just equipped the security team with "human nuclear force" when it received concrete information. Judging from the level and scale of the participants in this meeting, the information they obtained was very comprehensive, and they must have collected concrete evidence and experimental data. That meant that some of the more than 5,300 security guards had already used "human nuclear force".
Although he understands the feelings veterans have for the military, and it's normal for them to maintain contact with their former unit leaders, Lin Yao finds it unacceptable that the secret was leaked so quickly despite the oath-taking ceremony held before equipping the "human nuclear force" and the vows made to never do anything that would harm the interests of the country and the people.
Thinking of this, Lin Yao's face turned ugly, and his brows furrowed. However, he did not immediately answer General Yue Taiqun's question. He was thinking about what other trustworthy forces besides the Yi family could exert great strength in the future when fighting against "Chen Ai".
"Perhaps it's time to deepen our cooperation with the Pei and Sun families..."
With a sigh, Lin Yao adjusted his future decisions, thinking that a company-type enterprise really could not cultivate a large number of loyal people. No matter how much you trust your employees, the relationship between the two parties can never be separated from the employer-employee relationship. Perhaps only a family-style model can truly cultivate loyal people who do not care about personal will.
"Lin Yao, please give a direct answer!"
General Yue Taiqun slammed his hand on the table, the loud noise amplified many times by the loudspeaker, startling Lin Yao out of his reverie.
"Chairman, generals, I admit to possessing this drug."
Lin Yao stood up from the audience, looked directly at the chairman's seat without fear, and scanned the room before continuing, "However, this drug cannot be mass-produced. As I have said before, I am a cultivator, and this drug also falls under the category of alchemy. I'm sorry, I cannot provide the drug to the military, nor can I even provide samples for your research, because there are no samples of this kind of thing. I apologize."
After speaking, Lin Yao sat down, unlike a junior who stood listening to the generals' lecture. His face returned to a calm and composed expression, no longer caring about Yue Taiqun's unpleasant expression as he remained standing.
"That's just sophistry! You're making excuses to refuse the military!"
General Yue Taiqun slammed his fist on the table again, making a loud thud. "A cultivator? What a joke! Your actions have exceeded the rights of a citizen. Since you are involved in social affairs, you must abide by the rules of this country!"
Lin Yao frowned and glanced at General Yue Taiqun, but said nothing. He instantly summoned the pseudo-elixir fire.
A tiny, incandescent flame appeared at his fingertips. Using his inner power, he activated the pseudo-elixir fire, instantly raising the temperature of the entire conference hall. The powerful central air conditioning became ineffective, and the indoor temperature quickly surpassed that outdoors, making the generals feel as if they were under the scorching sun in the desert, with sweat immediately pouring down their faces.
"I'm sorry, I really am a cultivator, and this Samadhi Fire is not fake."
A calm voice came from Lin Yao's mouth, "I have always abided by all the laws and regulations of this country. If General Yue has any evidence, please sue me. If you have no evidence but want to pin a false charge on me, I will protest."
"Alright, General Yue, please sit down."
The chairman spoke, his voice neither slow nor hurried, immediately drawing everyone's attention to him. "Xiao Lin, this is our third meeting, isn't it? I believe what you've said, but this kind of medicine should be prioritized for the military, which is why I called you here today to discuss this matter."
"If there is any stock remaining, prioritize supplying it to the military. Our military desperately needs this drug because it is of great importance to national defense."
Lin Yao stood up again, his tone quite respectful, "Chairman, you are right, but there is indeed no stock of this drug. Minhong's security team is also not equipped with many, with only one to five people in each region receiving the allocation. As for the priority issue you mentioned, my personal understanding is not like that, because if this drug is concentrated and equipped for the military, it may not be as effective as letting it play a greater role in the civilian population."
"Oh? Why do you say that?" the chairman immediately asked, his tone not blaming, but rather asking for the reason.
"Chairman, generals, I have heard that our country's military is still receiving gene therapy from the Allison Human Potential Research Center. Let's not discuss the actual effects of this so-called gene therapy here, but we still need to consider whether it is scientifically sound and safe to equip the military with an unknown drug on a large scale?"
Lin Yao had no more reservations and just wanted to speak his mind. If "Morning Mist" was allowed to develop "poisonous people" in this country, the difficulties in the future would be even greater, and those soldiers who were transformed into "poisonous people" would be the most miserable.
Now is the time for a showdown!
"As far as I know, the US government has suspended this vaccination program and will not conduct any new vaccinations until the final results are available. They have even centralized the management of the vaccinated soldiers in order to prevent unknown dangers. Although some of the contents of my report may seem unbelievable, history will prove its correctness."
"Absurd!" General Yue Taiqun slammed his hand on the table again, causing the chairman beside him to frown. "You yourself have created an incredible drug, yet you describe other people's drugs as monstrous floods and beasts. What are your true intentions?"
"General Yue," Lin Yao's tone turned cold, "I'm putting this out there, everyone will see the results. These people who were injected with the so-called gene therapy drugs, the 'poisonous people' I mentioned in my report, will sooner or later become the enemy of the entire country!"
"Now I've created 'human nuclear power' precisely to curb and deter these 'poisonous people.' Of course, I can't provide any evidence. You can accuse me of talking nonsense, but you have no right to stop me from preparing for future crises!"
The chairman suddenly sighed almost imperceptibly, which Lin Yao, who was far away, noticed. He thought to himself that this country values moderation and balance, and even the number one person in the country has many constraints when doing things. It seems that he will have to find a way to deal with "Morning Mist".
"Let's just wipe out the vaccination facilities in the country, and not care about the consequences." A thought suddenly came to Lin Yao's mind. This was the best solution. Eliminating the key figures in the vaccination operation would at least curb the development of "Morning Mist" in the country, and fewer soldiers would die.
"This is alarmist!"
General Yue Taiqun glared at him. "You must submit the list of personnel equipped with 'human nuclear power' to the military headquarters! You have three days!"
